So much in our lives depend on power. When we lose power it is usually -40, so finally we had a wood burning stove installed. So last week we didn’t lose the power, but the propane line froze up – so no heat. -40 gets cold fast – but my trusty wood stove keep enough of the house warm I could make it til someone could come and get the heaters going again. Thinking of you, peace and quiet can be wonderful – but not when enforced by lack of power.
